As an unrepentant art historian, I gotta say that the thought of being close to anything touched by these masters makes me swoon (says the girl who sat down and sobbed before Géricault’s ‘The Raft of the Medusa’).

beautiful sentiment and appreciation to bring us in to enjoying art and those who amaze us with their gifts! And last night, The painting ‘Salvator Mundi’ by Leonardo da Vinci at Christie’s sold for almost a half a billion $!
